Like a phoenix rising in the desert, we're bringing KGX and KWXY back to life, working to restore these legendary radio stations to their former glory, without casting undue shame or embarrassment on the previous owners :) And, we've added a couple FMs to our little group, so you can now hear KGX on 99.1FM and KWXY on 92.3FM.

Desert Broadcasters LLC is perhaps the smallest group of stations that could possibly exist; KGXandKWXYare our only two radio properties. We commit every waking hour (and many non-waking hours) to building these radio stations into something we believe the Coachella Valley will enjoy listening to. In exchange, we hope you'll consider patronizing the Valley advertisers that support our efforts and allow us to “play radio” in the desert.

The ownershipand management team at KGX and KWXY may be new to these stations, but we're not new to radio, nor to the Coachella Valley. We've lived here for many years, and our General Manager and Station Manager together have over 90-years of combined radio broadcast experience. (It's urban legend they stood behind Marconi imploring him to “hurry, hurry!”)
